    Ethics lawyers say the raid violated the Hatch Act. The Democratic Senate minority leader has been silent.

      Since he explicitly said that his job is “too keep the left pro-Israel,” his silence is perfectly in line with his job description.

        That’s cause he’s a pos who enables this regime and Israel’s too.

        Schumer and Jefferies both need to be removed.

            I genuinely think things will devolve to the point that Americans using political violence against the establishment democrats is the only path forward. It’s fucked up. But I feel like it’s the only way America doesn’t devolve into a nation ending civil war. Actually. Cuz looking from the outside I don’t see the outcomes of any of your elections moving the needle anymore.

            Voting out republicans doesn’t solve the problem of establishment democrats preventing newly elected democrats from fixing anything.

            edit: Hopefully I’m wrong. But this is what I believe will happen.

                I don’t know that violence is entirely necessary, but working toward the DSA becoming its own thing and letting the Establishment Dems crash in to the hard reality that nobody supported them in the first place, they just disapproved of them less than the absolute mayhem on the right should probably happen.

                    Upvoted; but please understand, I’m not describing what I want to happen. I’m applying my weapons grade autistic pattern recognition to my background in attending and paying attention to history classes.

                    The Republicans and Democrats are the sword and shield of the wealthy elites respectively.

                    I agree with you, it’s not necessary. But I’m warning you that it’s inevitable. Those are not mutually exclusive!

                    Obviously not everyone is going to agree with me on this. Hopefully I’m wrong.

                        I don’t think anyone should rule it out, I just don’t think the death blow to the elites is going to come from partisan politics anyway. I think we’re past the tipping point where the system as built can be salvaged.

                            That’s beyond the scope of what I’m saying. I only mentioned wealthy elites to illustrate the role establishment dems play in subverting progress.

                            MMW USA will either play an integral role in the global working class uprising, or no longer exist in it’s current form by that time.

                        Of course he hasn’t. Omar actually cares and isn’t a corporate ass licker. She is exactly what Mr. Stern Letter Glasses On The Tip Of His Nose Schnuck doesnt want in the Democratic party. Omar getting denaturalized and deported would be a win as far as he is concerned.

                          That’s because Chuck is, what we Americans call, a pussy. Always has been a sniveling politician who follows the money. Yet New York continues to elect the little fucker.

                                          Omfg. People. Chuck Schumer is a conservative. ALL neoliberals are conservatives. Always have been. That’s why we’re in fascism now.

                                          There is no peaceful way out of conservatism. As long as they continue to exist, we will continue to be oppressed.

                                                        Because he’s a scummy MAGA. When this is over, we need to investigate him and Jeffries, and we’ll probably find that they’ve been getting paid by MAGA all along. Nothing else explains how they were so cooperative with MAGA at every step. They are 50% responsible for the rise, and re-rise of MAGA. We will always be under MAGA rule as long as the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries are in charge

                                                            Folks if we get the blue wave everyone needs to write their reps and tell them they cannot put Schumer or Jeffries anywhere near speaker or majority roles. It’s essential for ensuring we have a chance of the new congress doing what really needs to be done.
